UN GATE, Nov 20 – How corrupt is today's UN under Antonio Guterres? Today's sur-follow up is yet once again on his mission in Colombia, about which his spokespeople Stephane Dujarric and Melissa Fleming refuse all Press questions. Inner City Press has asked them, and others, about the newest sex abuse case against the UN there. Now this, from a UN whistleblower sent to Inner City Press:

Dear Matthew,    The information you have shared has rattled the guilty and empowered those who, out of fear, have remained silent.    Regarding Federico Ledesma, it appears that it takes a predator to protect another. His own indiscretions are whispered among staff, with numerous reports of his unwanted advances towards younger female colleagues, who often seek to distance themselves out of fear and disgust. This behavior reflects a troubling pattern that undermines the values of the mission.  

 Mar Brusola’s actions are equally disturbing. She deliberately targets strong, experienced, and qualified female staff, a pattern that reveals a gender bias in her discriminatory practices. It is shocking that a peacekeeping mission, struggling under the guise of a “financial crisis,” can still facilitate promotions left and right—courtesy of Brusola and Carlos Ruiz—for their inner circles, including friends, romantic partners, and unqualified individuals. These promotions are handed out without merit, leaving behind capable professionals who refuse to play their games. 

  The alarming possibility of the still untidy Brusola being promoted as Chief ORM under Ruiz only exacerbates concerns. Her lack of integrity and blatant misuse of power suggest that her actions will become even more brazen if left unchecked.  

 The clock is ticking for the shocking and covered-up actions in the field to come to light. Considering the growing list of victims and witnesses, we hope this will eventually reach a court of law, where justice can prevail. We trust you, Matthew, to ensure these stories are brought to public attention.   

  P.s they’re doing everything they can think of to try to come after you or get you to display the names of those who have contacted you. We trust, based on what you report, that this will not happen.    Thank you for giving us a voice

We will continue - No answer from UN Spox Dujarric nor Melissa Fleming on this; they threw Inner City Press out of the UN for this type of reporting. Now what? Keep the info coming.
